Shares of Alkem Laboratories came into focus on Tuesday following a large block deal worth ₹856.39 crore executed on the BSE. The transaction involved the exchange of approximately 17.49 lakh shares at a price of ₹4,895.60 per share.
Ahead of the trade, reports had indicated that Jayanti Sinha, a member of the promoter group, was planning to offload a 1.42% stake in the company. As per the March 2025 shareholding data, Sinha held a 2.46% stake in Alkem Laboratories. The block deal, executed at a floor price of ₹4,850, was offered at a nearly 3% discount to the last traded price.
Promoters hold a controlling 55.1% stake in Alkem, while foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and domestic institutional investors (DIIs) own 9.4% and 19.4% stakes respectively. The public holds the remaining 16.1% of the equity.
Financially, Alkem Labs reported a 4.2% year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹305.9 crore for the March quarter. Revenue rose 7.1% to ₹3,143.8 crore, but EBITDA margins saw a decline to 12.4% from 13.7% last year, leading to some investor disappointment.
